you can also change the permalink at wp settings > permalinks since those are normal wp page or use pages > quick edit and change its slug
I had the same issue that is now partially solved. The problem was that the permalinks settings weren’t having any effect. Using events as the event permalink slug had no effect while WordPress’s General Settings > Permalinks had the setting /%postname%/: all event permalinks were of the type http://example.com/event-name/. After the following, the permalink setting started (partially) to work:
- Changed the WP setting to
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/.
- Changed the EM setting to nearly the same,
/%year%/%monthnum%/events.
- Tested, it worked but took those placeholders as literals, in other words not showing the year but the string %year% and so forth.
- Changed the EM setting back to
events.
- Tested, it works, events are now permalinked as /events/event-name/
Hope this helps you as well, sierrausa.
Hopefully supporting the core WP placeholders will make it to the todo-list unless it already is there.
also, you might want to check EM Settings > Pages > Permalink Slugs
EM doesn’t support formats for placeholders like WP permalinks do.
This is more a limitation with WP rather than EM, as Custom Post types don’t seem to allow this permalink structure.
